Definitions
- the invention relates to a high-temperature fuel cell, in which a nickel network is arranged between a bipolar plate on the fuel gas side and a solid electrolyte. It also relates to a high-temperature fuel cell stack that contains a number of such high-temperature fuel cells.
- the fuel cells are divided into low, medium and high temperature fuel cells, which in turn differ in different technical embodiments.
- the high-temperature fuel cell stack which is composed of a large number of high-temperature fuel cells (in the specialist literature, a fuel cell stack is also called "stack")
- the electrolyte-electrode unit comprises two electrodes and a solid-state electrolyte arranged between the two electrodes and designed as a membrane.
- an electrolyte electrode unit lying between adjacent composite printed circuit boards forms a high-temperature fuel cell with the contact layers directly adjoining the electrolyte electrode unit on both sides, which also includes the sides of each of the two composite printed circuit boards adjacent to the contact layers.
- This type and further types of fuel cells are known, for example, from the "Fuel Cell Handbook" by A. J. Appleby and F. R. Foulkes, 1989, pages 440 to 454.
- the nickel can be designed as a nickel mesh package that has a thinner contact mesh and a thicker support mesh.
- this chromium oxide layer has a higher resistance than the metals used, the increase in series resistance is attributed to this oxidation product.
- the electrical conductivity is adversely affected.
- the formation of chromium oxide occurs at oxygen partial pressures of less than 10 "18 bar. These oxygen partial pressures are generally always present during the operation of the high-temperature fuel cell.
- the nickel network has been spot-welded to the bipolar plate.
- the welding points and also the contact points are, as it were, infiltrated by the chromium oxide during operation.
- the object of the invention is to improve a high-temperature fuel cell of the type mentioned in such a way that the increased series resistance is avoided and high conductivity is ensured even over a long period of time.
- the invention is also based on the object of specifying a high-temperature fuel cell stack with at least one such fuel cell.
- the invention is based on the consideration that this can be achieved if the formation of said chromium oxide layer can be at least largely avoided.
- the first-mentioned object is achieved according to the invention in that the bipolar plate is provided with a nickel layer on the fuel gas side, and in that the nickel network is attached to this nickel layer in an electrically conductive manner.
- the nickel network can be a nickel network package consisting of a thinner nickel contact network and a thicker nickel support network.
- the stated object is achieved according to the invention in that the stack has a multiplicity of interconnected printed circuit boards with electrolytes in between, two adjacent composite printed circuit boards each forming a high-temperature fuel cell of the type mentioned above.
- a thin layer of nickel on the bipolar plate (interconnector plate) improves the adhesion of the nickel network.
- the two materials of nickel mesh and nickel layer have similar compositions and therefore show a very good connection quality.
- High-temperature fuel cells practically do not infiltrate the welding and contact points of the network with a chromium oxide layer.
- the initial conductivity of the bipolar plate-nickel-layer-nickel network remains practically throughout the entire service life.
- the bipolar plate can be coated with a thin layer of Nikke using inexpensive methods.
- the process can be carried out, for example, by chemical or galvanic deposition.
- the layer thickness should be about 20 ⁇ m.
- the fuel gas side of the bipolar plate should be completely covered with nickel in the network area.
- the nickel mesh can be contacted with the bipolar plate using conventional spot welding methods.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of a high-temperature fuel cell 1.
- a bipolar plate 2 (interconnector plate made of CrFe5Y 2 0 3 l) is provided with a number of operating medium channels 4 which run perpendicular to the paper plane. These channels 4 are fed with a fuel gas, such as hydrogen, natural gas or methane.
- the lower part of the high-temperature fuel cell 1 represents the anode side.
- the surface 6 of the bipolar plate 2 is provided with a thin nickel layer 8. The thickness d of this nickel layer 8 is approximately 20 ⁇ m.
- a nickel net 10 is attached to the nickel layer 8 in an electrically conductive manner by spot welding.
- the nickel net 10 here is a nickel net package, consisting of a coarse, thicker nickel support net 10a and a fine, thinner nickel contact net 10b.
- a solid electrolyte 12 adjoins this nickel network 10 via a thin anode 11.
- This electrolyte 12 is upward from the cathode 14 limited.
- a further bipolar plate 16 with a number of operating device channels 18, only one of which is shown, is connected to the cathode 14 via a contact layer.
- the equipment channels 18 run parallel to the paper plane. They carry oxygen or air during operation.
- the unit consisting of cathode 14, solid electrolyte 12 and anode 11 is referred to as an electrolyte electron unit (MEA).
- MEA electrolyte electron unit
- the nickel layer 8 shown in the figure prevents the formation of a chromium oxide layer between the bipolar plate 2 and the nickel network 10 and thus ensures a consistently good electrical conductivity of the contacts.
- the fuel cell therefore has a low series resistance, which does not increase over the course of its operating life.
